Devices, systems and methods for synchronizing event windows in wireless network

A device, comprising:

• first communication circuits configured to receive and transmit data over at least a first medium according to a first protocol, the first communication circuits including a clock circuit to synchronize operations according to the first protocol;
• second communication circuits configured to receive and transmit data over at least the first medium according to a second protocol, the second communication circuits configurable as a master device according to the second protocol;
• wherein
• the device is configured to
• generate a strobe signal from the clock circuit,
• establish an event group window synchronous with the strobe signal,
• determine initial positions for event timing windows according to the second protocol for a plurality of slave devices,
• if an event timing window of a slave device is not in the event group window, transmit at least one clock adjustment packet addressed to the slave device configured to cause the slave device to move the event timing window toward the event group window, and
• continuing to transmit clock adjustment packets to slave devices until the event timing windows of the slave devices are sequentially ordered within the event group window.

A system, comprising:

• a plurality of slave devices, each slave device including a slave controller configured to establish periodic event timing windows based on a slave clock;
• and
• a master device that includes
• first communication circuits operating according to a first clock circuit and a first communication protocol,
• second communication circuits in wireless communication with the slave devices according to a second communication protocol, the second communication circuits configured to
• generate a strobe signal from the first clock circuit,
• establish an event group window that is synchronous with the strobe signal,
• if an event timing window of a slave device is not in the event group window, transmit a clock adjustment command to the slave device to move the event timing window toward the event group window;
• and
• continue to transmit clock adjustment commands to the slave devices until the event timing windows of the slave devices are sequentially ordered within the event group window.
